More and more convinced the only way you ever get blockchain transaction privacy is at the L1 level: anything which has a targetable entity or is opt-in is unlikely to ever be viable.

Every node on the network validates every transaction it sees, and a non staking node will ignore a block that does not follow its protocol rules even if validators say it is correct. This is why it’s important to have full nodes: they are a check on validators. We should have a better word for “validator” 😅!

Are there are governance/legal systems who systematically keep track of the costs/externalities of their rulesets and default to removing/changing rules if they are proven to be a net negative? Not “we realized that this is bad and campaign to change it”, but built in proactively.

(sheets|docs|slides).new makes me use gdrive products 10x more than I'd otherwise would. One of the most user-friendly product features by Google I can think of in the past ~10 years!

Lots of decisions on ACDE today: EIPs 2935 + 3074 included in Pectra, EOF and 7623 on the shortlist. EIP-7667, which proposes snark-friendly gas costs on L1, on the shortlist for the next fork. Changes to the forks' meta specs can be seen here: https://github.com/ethereum/EIPs/pull/8403

actually, it's more like you live in a plane world and you're building an automatic drone: "where will the people sit? is your cargo compartment safe for pets? what do you mean there's no pilot in the plane?!" ✈️

imagine you’re building the first airplanes but the only frame of reference is cars and you keep getting asked to “come for a test drive” in order to assess safety even though the facility only fits cars. “the wings don’t make it any different”, they say, “worst case, just remove them” x*y=k 🤝

Typing "warpcast" feels pretty natural, even though I'd used farcaster for >1 year almost daily before the switch. Extremely well timed brand separation, props 👏 This is coming from someone who will never call Twitter "X" and still types "tw(autocomplete)" 😄

Thank you @bankless for letting me take over again — this time with @vgr as a cohost ☀️ It was great to talk the SoP'23 research, our plans for 2024 (applications close next week!), and how this all ties back to Ethereum's long term roadmap 😄 www.youtube.com/watch?v=B45593oZGNs
